Stations of the Cross
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, March 25, 2010
It seems a little odd to pick out a “favorite” Station of the Cross. And yet, I wonder how many of us have one. Do you have a particular station that speaks to you in a profound way?
I was reflecting on this earlier, out of the blue, remembering that growing up I always loved coming to the station where Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. I suspect that as a young girl, I liked the thought of this (presumably)... READ MORE
Stations Made Simple

Driving in the car one Lenten afternoon, I decided we would talk about the Stations of the Cross. I could ask each boy to name a specific station and then we could discuss in further detail exactly what happened.
“Charlie,” I asked as we headed down the road, “will you name one of the stations?”
“Jesus falls the first time,” he replied.
“Good,” I said. “Tell me what happened.”

I have to praise my magazine colleague Tim Drake for his wonderful coverage of World Youth Day in Sydney.(No, that’s not him in the picture—although he did get an interview.) From the silly (Aussie slang and pilgrim snacks) to the sublime, Tim captured the local color and made a far-away event seem more real. As an instance of the sublime, I recommend his astonishing interview with the actors who... READ MORE
